php doctrine-module orm:convert-mapping --force --from-database annotation ./export

How to solve this issue?

You can add:

'doctrine_type_mappings' => array(
    'enum' => 'string'
)

in your global configuration file located in /config/autoload/global.php.

Example code:

        return array(
            'doctrine' => array(
                'connection' => array(
                    'orm_default' => array(
                        'driverClass' =>'Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOMySql\Driver',
                        'params' => array(
                            'host'     => 'localhost',
                            'port'     => '3306',
                            'user'     => 'username',
                            'password' => 'password',
                            'dbname'   => 'DevBrew',

                        ),
                        // To automatically convert enum to string
                        'doctrine_type_mappings' => array(
                            'enum' => 'string'
                        ),
                    )
                )
            )
       );
